[Nix-dev] Missing drivers from the installation CD

Hi,
I failed to install NixOS from the 0.11 ISO on a Dell D430 laptop. The
machine has an external USB CD drive. It can boot from it; however, the
installation CD doesn't have the `usb-storage' driver, making it
impossible to access the CD once Linux has booted.
In addition, the Ethernet card requires the `tg3' driver, which is not
available either on the installation CD image.
Does it mean I'll have to build my own ISO with all the needed drivers?
Any better idea? ;-)
Thanks,
Ludovic.
